    Microsoft family safety not working--at all.

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconveniece caused to you. Let me help you.



    Before we proceed, we require more information to assist you better.

    • Which web browser are you using?
    • Are the settings on the Family Safety options on your computer are the same with the one on
      http://familysafety.live.com?


    I suggest you to login with your parental account and check if you are able to manage the family settings.



    If the issue still persist, it might appears that the Child account is not configure correctly. I suggest you to remove the Family Safety and configure it again.

    How do I remove Family Safety?

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/family-safety-remove-uninstall-faq



    Now, setup Family Safety.

    Windows help & learning - Microsoft Support



    After creating the child account, you can then go to the Family Safety website, login using the parent account and then manage your child's restrictions and monitoring options.



    Refer the following Microsoft help article.

    Filter inappropriate apps and games

    Note: The steps for Windows 8/8.1 applies to Windows 10



    I hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you accordingly.

    Family Safety - Chrome Unblocking Itself

    Hello Jamie,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community.

    We regret for the inconvenience. Let me assist you to resolve the issue from here.

    From the description provided, I understand that the screen time usage is inaccurate for the child account/s you are referring to.

    Please follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Method 1

    Now, as an initial recommendation, I suggest you to view and check the family settings for the child by signing in to the Microsoft account using a browser.

    Account security and Online safety.

    https://account.microsoft.com/privacy

    You may change the More security settings under account security and
    family safety settings/Manage permissions for children under Online safety in the above link.

    Method 2

    If it still does not help, I suggest you to remove the child account from your Microsoft Family Safety settings and check if it is the Family Safety feature which is preventing the child account to access Office products.

    Follow the below steps.


    • From a web browser, go to
      http://account.microsoft.com/family       and sign in with the Microsoft account of an adult in the family.

    • To remove a child, choose Remove at the top of the section labeled
      Select a child to view or edit their settings.
    • Select the person you want to remove from the family
    • Select the Remove button that appears when you've chosen the person to remove.

    Additionally, I also suggest you to visit to the below link on Family Safety

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/family

    Refer to the section Set limits for your child.

    Also, refer to the section 'How can I tell if the Family Safety service is connected to my PC and set up correctly?' in the article provided.

    Does Microsoft Family Safety work with other browsers such as Vivaladi or Chrome?

    Google account login not working with Microsoft Family Safety enabled.

    -Did you try a different web browser to login to Google and check?

    YES, I've tried Google Chrome and everything works fine with it. Only the Microsoft browsers have the issue with Family Saftey.

    -Does the Google website reflects under the block this websites in family safety?

    As I stated in the original post, "There are no site restrictions in place and placing Google in the allow list has no effect."

    -Have you tried to remove and add accounts in the family safety? I have uninstalled/removed and reinstalled/reactivated all accounts under Family Saftey with the same end result.

    Also, the Family Safety website does not log any web activity.
